Kick it!
Would baseball fans ever accept Game Seven of the World Series being settled by a home run derby?
Would NHL, NBA, NFL fans ever accept an official on the floor/field/ice keeping track of “extra time” that no one else knows the exact amount?
These questions are bugging me as I take a dive into soccer…You ask questions of any school you enroll your child in. Your children are your heart, so you are going to be very careful what you expose your heart to.
So if I’m going to jump into soccer then I have to have answers to these questions and not defensive reactions like: “Why don’t you shut up, you don’t know anything about soccer.”
To which, in the past, I have answered that I do know about soccer. It sucks. …But now I’m seeking, trying to understand, and all I’m being told is to accept how things are and not ask questions.
MLB All-Star game! (yawn)

I don’t know what Laker fans are so upset about. They signed Jeremy Lin, not Smush Parker…or Chucky Atkins.
The only thing missing from Arroyo’s SGV Shootout…is a “Fan Experience”. You got food, you got great entertainment, maybe a section for a buck or two where fans can get timed in the 40 or armchair quarterbacks can measure their strength and accuracy. That might be a million dollar idea. (…And if it is, I want a piece.)
Whenever there is a change in coaches and stars you have to think there will be a learning curve so that all ideas can catch up and land on the same page. With that said; Monrovia looks pretty good.
In fact the rest of the Rio Hondo League should probably higher an actuary firm to run the numbers on whether it is wise to even line up against M-Town this fall. Perhaps, just perhaps, Temple City, La Canada, Blair, and South Pasadena should just take a pass and keep everyone healthy for a third place run. The rewards of which could include a road game with Charter Oak.
If any team, other than the Wildcats, has any traction in the Central Division and Rio Hondo it is San Marino. Good program, and dangerous to anybody they play.
I liked Arcadia, but wow, you’re talking about a good team that might finish in fifth or fourth place in the Pacific. Muir is always there, CV is looking very good, and the Burbank schools are going to be there. The wild card will be Pasadena, so where does that leave the Apaches?
Can an argument be made for six of the seven teams in the Mission Valley League being a title contender? Will it play out that way? No, but can everyone make an argument? I believe so.
There was a lot of energy at Cal yesterday…
Great question, does La Serna get unseated in the Del Rio. I’m not saying it is going to happen, but no one should be surprised if it does happen.
Regards:
In regards to El Rancho: The Dons reached the semi-finals at “The Rumble at The Ranch” before falling to San Clemente. They went 4-2 on the day. St. Bonaventure beat San Clemente in the finals.
In regards to South El Monte: Quarterback Jaime Michel looks bigger.
In regards to the Creston Throw: …I’m still on the market.
In regards to Chris Bosh: I’ve been out of town for a few weeks, but did the Miami Heat really give him a max deal?
In regards to Julio Urias: When?
The Dude abides…
